Used air dome for sale, 60' × 120' Arizon air-supported structure
Everything is included: 33 oz PVDF fabric, the blower with gas heat, both doors, all the lighting, the electrical panel, 7,200 sq ft of rubber floor, and the stamped as-built drawings. Three years up in the desert, locked in dry storage ever since.
Section through the short axis, drawn to scale. Clear span, no interior columns.
Most used domes are half a building
Almost every used dome you will find is just fabric and a blower. Then you figure out you still need doors, lights, a panel and a floor, and the budget is gone before anything goes up.
This one came down complete and went into storage complete. Airlock door, emergency door, the whole lighting harness, the electrical panel, and 7,200 square feet of half-inch rubber mat, all of it in the containers with the Arizon manual and the as-built drawings. You buy it once and you are done.
What fits inside
60 by 120 is not a rough number. It is the exact footprint for a regulation tennis court with full runout, and it splits into four pickleball courts at 30 by 60 with nothing left over. Pick a layout below.
Component manifest
Every line below is in the containers and included at the asking price.
| Component | Specification | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric envelope | 33.3 oz/yd² PVDF-III, triple wall | The building itself. 550 lbs/in tensile, opaque, fire rated to NFPA 701. Entry-level PVC does not come close. Sold as-is, no warranty, see below. |
| Inflation unit | Fizer Model 24-2 | Electric pressurization blower with indirect gas-fired heat and an auto-start backup blower. This is the building's mechanical heart. |

The fabric, by the numbers
This is the manufacturer's published data for the exact material on this dome. Most used domes get sold on entry-level PVC. This is not that.
| Unit mass | 33.3 oz/yd² |
| Strip tensile strength | 550 × 500 lbs/in |
| Tear strength | 320 × 320 lbs |
| Coating adhesion | 14 lbs/in |
| Temperature range | -40°F to +158°F |
| Light transmission | 0%, opaque |
| Fire retardant | NFPA 701, CSFM, ASTM E-84, CAN/ULC S109 |
| UV resistant | Yes |
| Anti-wicking | Yes |
| Fungal resistance | Treated |
| Warranty status | Expired, see below |
Opaque fabric blocks radiant heat, which is why this one ran in the Mojave. If you want daylight instead, translucent fabric passes 5 to 12% light, but you give up the heat blocking.
There is no warranty on this dome
The numbers above are the manufacturer's published specification for this material. They are not a warranty. The original 20 year pro-rated coverage ran to the first purchaser on the original installation, and it does not come with the dome. We took it down ourselves without Arizon supervising, which ends it on its own, and coverage like this is not transferable to a second owner in any case.
It sells as-is. What you get instead of paper is the ability to look at it: come inspect the fabric in person, or have Arizon inspect it and quote you on a re-install, which is the only route to any kind of coverage going forward. We would rather tell you this up front than have you find out from your attorney.
What is not included
The 50-ton Trane rooftop A/C unit
We sold it separately, so it is not part of this package. Heat still works: the Fizer unit runs indirect gas-fired heat. That makes the dome complete for seasonal or cold-weather use, which is how most court domes get run anyway, up in October and down in April with nobody needing A/C. If you want it cooled year round, budget for a unit.
Putting it up
Five stages. The foundation takes the longest and happens before anything ships. Once the pad is cured, a decent crew has this thing standing in under two weeks.
Site prep and foundation
Soil test, stamped drawings, permit, then either a concrete grade beam or earth anchors depending on your soil and local wind code. Concrete has to cure before it takes any load.
Delivery and unload
Containers show up from Amarillo. You will want an 8,000 lb forklift and flat ground to stage on. Lay everything out and check it against the manifest before your crew arrives.
Envelope layout and anchoring
Roll the fabric out across the pad, get it positioned, then bolt the perimeter down and fit the cable harness. Slow work and weather dependent. Do not try it on a windy day.
Mechanical and electrical
Set the Fizer unit, run the gas line, land the panel, hang the lighting harness. You need a licensed electrician and a gas fitter for this part, not general labor.
Inflation and commissioning
Inflate it, hang the airlock and emergency doors, dial in the pressure setpoints on the photohelic gauge, lay the rubber floor. It comes up to pressure in a few hours.
You want somebody with construction experience on the job
This is not a weekend kit. Anchoring a pressurized fabric building, running gas and three-phase, and getting it through inspection is real trades work. If you have run commercial installs before, you will be fine. If not, get a GC involved or hire Arizon to put it up. They still build these and they have the records on this exact sales order.
Where it came from, and why we are selling
Arizon Building Systems built it in 2020 under sales order A10324. It went up on a military installation out in the California high desert and ran as the base gym from 2020 to 2023 while they built the permanent one.
We bought it to open our own facility. We took it down ourselves in 2023, packed it into 40-foot high-cube containers and hauled it to Texas. Then our funding fell through and the project died. It has been locked in a container in a dry storage facility ever since.
That is the whole story. Nothing wrong with the dome. We just do not have a use for it anymore, and it is worth a lot more to somebody who does than it is sitting in storage. Three years in the Mojave is about the easiest life fabric can have: no standing water, no freeze-thaw, no salt air. Arizon rates these for 20 to 30 years, so it has barely started.
You get the engineering, not just the parts
The stamped as-built set comes with the dome. Sections, the profile with cable spacing, and the perimeter anchorage details. If you have ever tried to permit a used building with no paperwork, you know what this is worth.
Anchoring, and why it matters to your budget
This dome does not need a poured grade beam. It runs a perimeter catenary system: 1/2" galvanized wire rope, 6x25 IWRC EIPS with white PVC coating and 26.6 KIPS minimum breaking strength, tied to helical earth anchors at 8' on center, with sandbags along the interior perimeter. On its original installation it sat on an existing concrete slab.
If you already have a slab, a pad, or ground your engineer will sign off on, that is the single biggest line item in the whole project potentially off your budget. Confirm it with a local engineer against your own soil and wind code, but the system it was built for is anchors, not footings.
Read the paperwork yourself
Both documents are posted below. No form, no email required. Read them before you call, and every question you have will be a better one.
Arizon submittal package, Rev 2
The engineering package Arizon produced for approval before they built it. This is the design intent document: what the building is, how it was calculated, and what it was specified to do.
- Shop drawings, sections and the dome profile with cable spacing
- Perimeter catenary anchorage design and earth anchor layout
- Fabric data sheets for the exterior membrane and interior liners
- Door, lighting and inflation equipment cut sheets
Installation, operation and maintenance manual
The full operating manual that shipped with the dome, roughly 326 pages. This is what you would hand your crew and your operator. Large file, give it a moment to load.
- Installation and dismantling procedures, step by step
- As-built drawings
- Wind and snow operating setpoint tables and emergency procedures
- Fizer inflation unit and backup engine manuals
- Trane HVAC section, included for reference only since that unit was sold
Both open in Google Drive in a new tab. You can read them there or download a copy.
Wind and snow ratings
An air dome holds up with pressure, not steel. These are the actual numbers out of the Arizon manual, in inches of water column.
| Condition | Threshold | Pressure setpoint | Low needle | High needle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal wind | 0 to 35 mph | 0.90″ – 1.00″ | 0.70″ | 1.30″ |
| Heavy wind | 35 to 50 mph | 1.50″ – 1.60″ | 1.30″ | 1.80″ |
| Very heavy wind | 50 to 90 mph | 1.50″ – 1.60″ | 1.30″ | 1.80″ |
| Light snow | 1 to 2″ per hour | 1.50″ – 1.60″ | 1.30″ | 1.80″ |
| Heavy snow | 3″ per hour | 1.50″ – 1.60″ | 1.30″ | 1.80″ |
For snow you bring the inside up to 80°F two hours before it starts falling. Full procedures come with the manual. Code background: ASCE and the International Code Council.
